Hutchings, Barton – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Yearbook, 1976
Algorithms for the four basic operations on whole numbers are described; these algorithms provide for sequential recording of all steps in the operations. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Curriculum, Elementary Education
Hamrick, Katherine B.; McKillip, William D. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
The changing role of computational skills is discussed. A level of computational skill desirable in light of predictable future needs is proposed, and four reasons for advocating that level are discussed. (MN)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Computation, Curriculum Development
Bright, George W. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Assessment data on student achievement are analyzed to trace performance on some computational skills, with areas of needed improvement identified. (MN)

Hart, Maurice – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
The aim of this article is to identify the natural relationships that exist between using computer programming in BASIC, and some particular mathematical concepts. Specific examples are given for use by the mathematics teacher who has the necessary facilities available. (MN)

Renwick, E. M. – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
These three brief articles concern problems students encounter in solving simple linear equations, children's conceptions of number, and the distinction between adding objects and adding numbers as illustrated by students' problems with Euler's formula. (SD)

Elliott, Portia C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The author proposes that computer programs which are designed to make algorithmic structures accessible and comprehensible be employed as advance organizers in mathematics instruction. These programs would bring clarity and structural integration to mathematical, instructional, and cognitive structures important to the mastery of mathematical…

Burris, Charles H.; Hobbs, Billy F. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
An algorithm is provided for generating as many desired digits in the decimal representation of a rational number on a calculator. It may be used whenever the number of digits displayed on the calculator exceeds the number of digits in the denominator. (JT)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Decimal Fractions, Elementary School Mathematics

Whitman, Betsey; Cook, Donald – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1977
A method for teaching students to solve complex algebraic equations is described. The method, which relies on sequentially reducing the complexity of the problem has been successfully used with secondary students and in remedial college courses. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, College Mathematics, Higher Education

Losee, Robert – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1987
Presents a coordination level matching algorithm to be used in document retrieval systems that incorporate relevance feedback strategies. It is argued that this algorithm may eliminate the need for the frequent reevaluation of documents that is currently found in such systems, and conditions under which reranking is unnecessary are given.…

Andersen, Lyle E.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Ways to combine the strengths of teacher and computer are suggested. Multiplication concepts and an algorithm for multiplication are taught in the same lessons. The computer is used as an electronic chalkboard to teach at a semiconcrete level. The computer program is included. (MNS)

Gordon, Michael D. – Information Processing and Management, 1988
Describes the three subsystems of an information retrieval system (document descriptions, queries, and matching algorithms) and argues that the interdependency of these subsystems requires adaptation for the system to perform when any component changes. An algorithm for redescribing documents, in response to changes in queries and retrieval rules,…

Baker, Claire A.; Frank, David V. – Hoosier Science Teacher, 1988
Defines one approach to problem solving in terms of student use of algorithms to find their solutions and gives examples. Discusses how problems and algorithms relate to each other. Describes strategies for teaching problem solving using algorithms. (CW)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Chemistry, Cognitive Development, Computation

Assink, Egbert M. H. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1987
In a large-scale field experiment aimed at improving spelling instruction in Dutch schools, the effectiveness of a newly developed algorithmic teaching method was compared with the conventionally and commonly used analogy approach. The analogy group showed comparatively little progress in learning results. (Seventy-five test items are appended).…

Hart, Kathleen – Mathematics in School, 1987
Describes a research project designed to monitor the transition from work based on concrete materials to the more formalized aspect of mathematics found in secondary schools. The topic of subtraction was chosen by three teachers who were involved in the investigation. (PK)

Hofmeister, Alan M.; Thorkildsen, Ron – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1986
The development of computer-assisted and computer-managed instruction for handicapped students involves a number of instructional design issues requiring research. Discussed are algorithmic and heuristic procedures, individual rate of learning, feedback, and instructional task hierarchies.(Author/DB)
